Ways to Counter Steam Blaster for Every Plant
Here are some possible ways to counter Steam Blaster. Note that these won't work all of the time & this is assuming that you're going in without upgrades.
Peashooter - Your low health is compensated with evasiveness & agility. Luring him into Chili Bean Bomb, avoiding attacks with Pea Souped, or using Pea Gatling at a safe distance is obliged. Otherwise, try to actually aim as Peashooter does high damage with direct hits & can vanquish Scientist faster than Sticky Healy Thingy. Abuse splash when he Warps away.
Chomper - Possibly the best counter to the Steam Blaster; high health, Burrow outrunning Warp, & Grody Goop to Scientist's low health can really contest the thing. Like bean bomb, try to trap him into Spikeweed which can take 3/4's of his base health away & tank the damage when facing him close. Don't bother using Slobber Shot as he's too mobile to hit.
Kernel Corn - This is really hard since he lacks health but his best options are close-range. Using Cob Busters from a distance could be good, add on Butter Beacon for a damage boost & location. Husk Hop once Scientist runs out of Warps & Shuck Shot as a last resort.
Nightcap - DO NOT ATTACK HIM UP-CLOSE. YOU WILL DIE. Abuse her range & never bother Shadow Sneaking Away or using Fung-Fu because Warp exists. Trap him in Shadow Realm (I know it's not its real name) & Warp won't work properly. If you're stuck up-close to him, R.I.P.
Snapdragon - This is the complete opposite & I encourage you to get up-close. 175 health can tank Steam Blaster well. If they retreat, use Blazing Trail to block possible future attacks. Otherwise, try to lock your Blue Blazes onto him & Swoop Slam if they don't have Warp. Don't bother using Flare Ball & try to use your primary when possible.
Citron - long-range: Naval Laser; medium-range: Spin Dash (trust me it goes pretty far); close-range: E.M.Peach then primary. Don't use shield cause it can be penetrated & try to make the best outta your primary; it has insane DPS up-close & Steam Blaster is pointless against 200 HP. If he really gets you, retreat.
Cactus - If you're near him, your dead. If you're far from him, he's dead. If you rock with sniping, you'll have a field day. Your only to snipe twice to vanquish him (99 critical max, 8 normal first) & Garlic Drone is your best friend. Use Potato Mines like bean bomb & Spikeweed, & don't move when using Petal Propeller to escape; simply rise up & then move so it lasts longer.
Acorn & Oak - NEVER BE ACORN. EVEN AS A PASSENGER. You will die & better off tanking your very low health pool of just a measly 300 hit points. Super Sap Trap, log, finish. If Steamy boi runs away don't bother; you're too slow to catch up & rather regenerate health & recharge abilities.
Sunflower - Stick with your teammates. Like Pea Gatling, get somewhere safe & burn him. Continuously heal yourself & allies to sustain damage.
Rose - Try to get homing onto him & Jinx him as any plant that encounters him will deal extra damage. Goatify him when he only has two ways to go, & Arcane Enigma out when he gets you low.
Remember that these are just possible solutions; they're not meant to dismantle Steam Blasters when you do encounter them, but can really make them struggle to defeat you in these scenarios. Reply what you think would be better & what other methods are there to destroy this gas of evil.
